The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on available information derived from engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur, or flood heights may be increased by human-made or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that development either inside or outside of the SFHA will be free from flooding or damage. This chapter does not create liability on the part of the city or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damage that results from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision made lawfully thereunder.
